"Apache" is a very flash, 12 year old, tobiano paint gelding. He is not gaited. He stands 15.0hh. He is 100% clean and sound with no bad habits or vices. He is very sweet natured and enjoys attention. He is a big baby and will be your best friend the more you want to pet on him. He has a very easy going and quiet disposition. Out in the pasture he is closer to the lower middle in the pecking order. He is on pasture, is not kept in a stall and is not on a regular feeding schedule.... (read more)

He is easy to catch, comes to feed. He has good ground manners and will stand quietly for grooming, tacking up, fly spray, etc. He is currently barefoot and does fine that way, however I would suggest having him shod if you are going to do excessive riding on rough terrain.

Apache is easy to ride and is great for someone who doesn't want a fancy horse, who just knows the basics and wants to enjoy trail riding. He is just an every day, hop on and go, type of horse. He does not neck rein, though he does have a soft mouth and is willing and responsive. He is very patient. He is used to just direct reining or plow reining.

He is not registered, so I really don't know what breed he is for sure, though I think he could have some walking horse or something else gaited in his bloodlines. He does move a little like a gaited horse does, but he trots. I have worked on trying to get him to step into a gait and I think with some work, he might learn to do it eventually. He is really comfortable to ride and has a big stride.

Out on the trails, Apache is excellent. He feels most comfortable following someone else, though he will ride as the lead horse if you ask him to. He will cross logs, ditches, steep banks, bridges, puddles, etc. He has also been ridden quite a bit "off trail" and is very attentive to the rider and is sure footed. He will ride out alone if you ask or does even better with a group. He is alert and pays attention, but not the spooky type.

He loads and trailers well. He is UTD on coggins. Asking $1,200

If you are looking for a very flashy, super sweet, easy going gelding to trail ride with, show, or just to have as a companion and friend, then Apache is the horse for you.
